w88 slot online 26
Co-sponsored with the Performing Arts Series, Peter Apfelbaum and The Collective will open the Reno Jazz w88 slot online on Thursday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the University of Nevada, Reno Nightingale Concert Hall. Berkeley-born and based in New York City since 1998, saxophonist/pianist/drummer and composer Apfelbaum is best known as the leader of the world music big band, The Hieroglyphics Ensemble, which he formed while still in high school in 1977. The ensemble, which attracted international attention for its unique fusing of elements of world music with the aesthetics of the jazz avant-garde, received a Grammy nomination in 1991 for the album "Signs of Life" (Antilles). It helped launch the careers of fellow Berkeleyans Joshua Redman, Benny Green, Craig Handy and Steven Bernstein. An influential figure in new jazz for more than three decades, he has worked with some of the leading figures in contemporary music, including the late Don Cherry, Cecil Taylor, Harry Belafonte, Omar Sosa, Bill Laswell and Phish. He has been commissioned by the Kronos Quartet and the National Swedish Radio Orchestra. In 2013, he formed Sparkler, an electronica-based sextet, which released its debut EP on MOD Technologies in 2015. His newest recording, an album of solo piano pieces entitled "Song of The Tree of Destiny," will be released this year on the Loove Arts label. He has played with Dafnis Prieto since 1999 and is a member of Prieto's Sextet and Si o Si Quartet. CMJ New Music Report has called Apfelbaum "a visionary, galvanic composer and player like few others of his time."

The Reno Jazz w88 slot online is hosting the Dafnis Prieto Sextet on Friday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. at Lawlor Events Center. Throughout the past two decades, a wave of astonishing musicians from Latin America has surged across the New York jazz scene providing a torrent of energy. Cuban-born drummer Prieto exemplifies this wide-open generation as a conservatory-trained artist steeped in Afro-Cuban folkloric forms, the European classical tradition and post-bop jazz improvisation. The recipient of 2011 MacArthur Genius Fellowship, Prieto is an increasingly commanding composer whose most recent album "Triangles and Circles" showcases his dazzling Sextet, a band comprised of world-class instrumentalists that he has led since 2007. The current edition features saxophonists Peter Apfelbaum and Roman Filiu, trumpeter and University of Nevada, Reno Assistant Professor Ralph Alessi, Pianist Alex Brown, and Bassist Ricky Rodriguez. All brilliant soloists, they are also exemplary team players who, like Prieto, are experts at crafting musical narrative from Pan-American source material. The sextet will be preceded with an opening act by the University Jazz Ensemble, the "Free Radicals."
